JOSEPH SILBERMAN, OF NASHVILLE, TENN ESSEE, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO SOLOMON KLEINMAN, OF SAME PLACE.

PLOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,229, dated December 23, 1890. Application filed February 25, 1890. Serial No. 341,778. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: holes and (Z are made, and there is also a Be it known that I, JOSEPH SILBERMAN, a hole in said mold-board, in which the pivot or citizen of the United States, residing at Nashbolt a is inserted, and around which the adville, in the county of Davidson and State of justable part of the plow is turned. The plow 5 Tennessee, have invented a new and useful also consists of a helve f, which is the part Improvement on a Plow for Hillside Plowing; of the plow upon which the handles and beam and I do hereby declare that the following of the plow are supported, and into which is a full, clear, and exact description of the the pivot or bolt a is inserted in sueha manner invention, which will enable others skilled in as to allow the mold-board to be turned from lo the science to which it appertains to make one side to the other around it. There is also and use the same. a stay pin or key I), the purpose of which is My invention relates to an improvement on to insert it into the holeseand d, respectively, a plow for hillside plowing; and the object depending upon whether the plow is a left or of my invention is to plow from one side of right handed plow, and when inserted in one I5 a field to the other along the side of the hill, of these holes it holds the mold-board steady, and then by reversing the plow at each end thus rendering the plow ready for plowing. of the field go back across the field along Of course the plow has also the parts comthe same furrow just made, thus avoiding mon to all plows-via, beam, handles, point, uphill and downhill plowing. I attain this &e.; but as there is no patent asked for on 70. 20 object by the mechanism illustrated in the these it will be unnecessary to describe them accompanying drawings, in whichmore particularly than to say they are of the Figure 1 is a view of the left side of the kind and natureused on ordinary plows. whole plow when said plow is a right-hand My plow is made in the following manner: plow.

My plow is described as follows: It consists Leaving the piece of material in the same I00 50 of a mold-board, as shown in drawings and position as above, commence at apoint about designated by 1 and 2, through which the two two or three inches from the upper left-hand corner on a line drawn at an angle of about forty-five degrees to said corner and across the top of the material. Measure then from said point on a line parallel to the upper far edge a distance a little greater than the thicknessof thehelve. lhenthe line drawn between these two points obtained represents the width of the space to be carved out for the helvc. From these two points draw parallel lines at right angles to the upper edge nearest you. Then from the two points thus obtained on the upper nearest edge draw parallel lines perpendicular to the lower nearest edge, but the two last-mentioned lines to be extended only to within two or three inches of the lower nearest edge. Now cut out the material inclosed within these live last-obtained lines and I have the space made for the insertion of the hclve. This latter process of making the space for the hclve forms the two lugs, (exterior and interior lugs) the interior lug being very much in the shape of a rightangle triangle, and the exterior lug, being in the shape of a square with two of its sides slightly convex, curves, as shown. The landside is next made thus: By commencing at the lower inside far corner of the exteriorlug and cutting out all the material between that point and the far right-hand lower corner, or point of nose of plow, as made above, with the exception of a piece of the width and depth of about two or three inches each on the lower far edge, and extending along the lower far edge to the right-hand lower corner or point of the nose, thus making the landside, as shown. I now slightly convex the lower and far edges of the exteriorlug and make the holes in the exterior and interior lugs for the pins or bolts a and I), as shown by the drawings filed herewith. All of the said parts of the plow and the making thereof; will be easily understood by reference to the model filed heretofore.

I am aware that plows for hillside plowing have been made prior to my invention. I am also aware that such plows have been made in which the plow turned over the landside. I therefore do not claim such combination broadly; but

What I do claim as my invention, and tie sire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a reversible plow, the combination, with the beam and standard, of a mold board and landside having two like faces and provided with interior and exterior lugs or cars pivoted to the standard or hel ve, said plow adapted to rotate above its base or landside, and said lugs having a central pivot-bolt hole and stay-bolt holes at their upper corners, and the pivot-bolt and the bolt to secure the plow in a right-hand orleft-hand position, substantially as shown and described.
